Talking about his father, Russell Henley said to Fox Sports in September 2024:
“He was battling the last couple of years, so I don't know if I've just gotten used to being sad about it. It's been a battle. He loved watching me play. He's been watching me play until he couldn't watch anymore because he was just too sick. But he was there.”
Russell created the Chapin Henley M.D. Scholarship Fund to honor his father's legacy. This scholarship supports post-secondary education for Idle Hour Country Club employees and their dependents. On the fund's website, Henley wrote, “This scholarship is a tribute to my dad, Chapin Henley, who has always been an inspiration to me. Against the odds, he worked hard and became a doctor. He really cared about his patients, often treating people who couldn’t pay him."
